end of year whatnot

Thanks to everyone who came to our screenings this past Fall, it was a really fun first season for us and we were thrilled so many folks attended screenings! Our next season (4 shows, January-April) is all set and listed at 2220’s site (with ticket links), as well as here, of course. And we’re already formulating programs for beyond that, after we take a month off in May!

I’ve continued to work on this site in little ways as a reference resource. I haven’t added or posted a ton more actual public data, but behind the scenes I’ve been gradually getting some complicated filmmaker filmographies put together to eventually host here. In particular, the Stan Brakhage filmography is a big undertaking, because I’m not only making sure it’s hyper-accurate, but I’m also adding anecdotal and technical data about each film wherever possible, which is taking a LONG time. (I’ve gotten as far as 1965 as of this writing!) But once posted, I’m confident it will represent the most accurate Brakhage filmography available, with a good amount of additional info about many of the films.

Also, in considering the possible research value of the Ephemera section of the site, I’ve made some plans to do some research digging into a few long-gone Los Angeles based experimental film exhibition entities, with the ideal aim of documenting all of their exhibition activities here. Stay tuned, if you’re into that kind of thing! (-Mark)
